Describing Phantom Limb Experience Of people who have had body parts amputated, about 80 percent experience some sort of phantom limb sensation. This experience, which can range from severe shooting pain to merely feeling the presence of the absent limb, most often occurs in amputees but sometimes manifests itself in individuals whose limbs have been missing since birth. The sensations patients experience are not necessarily of the same strength, location, or duration from occurrence to occurrence

Hummingbirds: Smallest bird on earth Hummingbirds are fascinating birds that are always fun to watch. These birds are able to hover in mid-air, dart from side to side, go straight up or down, or even backwards. They can out-fly and out-maneuver birds hundreds of times their size. There are many factors that contribute to the hummingbirds ' ability to fly so easily through the air. A hummingbird 's wings are shaped so that they are slightly rounded on the top. "Their wings flaps 15-80 times per

phenomenon that appealed to his interest in anomalies in the deepest way—the so-called phantom limb syndrome. In this case, people who have had a limb amputated continue to experience sensation and pain where the limb used to be. In his research as a visual psychologist, Ramachandran had specialized in optical illusions—instances in which the brain would incorrectly fill in information from what the eyes had processed. Phantom limbs represented an

Although there are discrete cortexes in the brain, each with a specific purpose for integration, which have complex functions of their own, each part of the brain interacts with one another in complex ways that contribute to the integration of sensory information to the reality we are all so familiar with (Eagleman, 2015a). As explained by Doctor David Eagleman (2015a), the brain is like a city. There is no true single place that reality could be said to exist in the mind. Just as in a city, there

Complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS) formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy is an autonomic and central nervous system disease that results in an individual’s experiencing chronic pain (Ferrillo, 2016). Pain usually happens in one or more generalized region of the extremities, such as the arms, hands, legs, or feet, but can also affect other parts of the body. Although the particular origin of the disease is undetermined, the majority of the time CRPS is caused by a significant trauma; such

Now the theory “Psychogenic Mechanism” is believed that stress, exhaustion, anxiety and depression would exacerbate phantom limb pain. A crosssectional study found that amputation in people with personality traits characterized by passive coping styles and catastrophizing behavior was found to be associated with the development of PLP independent of anxiety and depression (Bishnu, Grossberg. 2011). What happens if you listen to your brain when it’s telling you the wrong information? How does this

Mustary Akter Psyc 2301 Section N01 Summer I and 2017 Discussion of Research Topic: For this final paper I will be writing about phantom limb. Phantom limb is the sensation or pain which a person feels after he/she has an amputated or missing limb. They feel that their limb is still attached to the body.

Another drug class treatment that has been proven successful with PLP are opioids such as morphine. Wu et al. (2008) study showed that morphine was able to permanently reduce PLP in some patients, which may be due to the drug’s ability to diminish cortical reorganization in the brain. A large concern with the use of opioids, especially long-term use, is the possibility of addiction and quality of life. For many patients, using morphine on a consistent basis may not be possible due to lack of a live-in
